Does a tubal exam hurt?

Whether a tubal test hurts or not varies from person to person. If the fallopian tubes are open, the pain is usually mild; if the tubes are not open enough, the pain will increase. Tubal test is mainly to check whether the fallopian tubes are open or not. Generally, after sterilizing the vagina and cervix, a specific medical instrument is used to inject drugs into the uterus through the cervix to determine whether the fallopian tubes are open or not. If the fallopian tubes are open, there is usually no significant discomfort or mild pain during the test, which can be tolerated by most people. When the fallopian tubes are not smooth enough, when the tubes are blocked, or when there is inflammation in the tubes, injection of contrast medium, fluids, other hormones, anti-inflammatory drugs, etc. into the uterine cavity will increase the pain felt by the patient during the examination. When the tubal examination is conducted, it is usually chosen after 3~7 days of menstruation, and the examinee should keep the perineum dry and clean, and empty the bowels before the examination. If you have any other questions, it is recommended to consult a professional doctor for guidance.
